On Monday, April 18, 2022, the Village Collaborative will host two development activities meetings for important projects in the East Liberty neighborhood. As the neighborhood's only registered community organization (RCO)*, developers and property owners who are seeking approvals from Planning Commission, Zoning Board of Adjustment, Historic Review Commission, and Art Commission are required to present their projects at a publicly advertised development activities meeting (DAM)* least 30 days in advance of the public hearing at which it will be reviewed and voted on.
Review of Enright Park Master Plan and Design
At 6 PM on Monday, April 18, 2022, the Village Collaborative will host a presentation by the design team, including the City of Pittsburgh, about the proposed reconstruction of Enright Park. You can learn more about the project and process to date on the City's EngagePGH website, including seeing the most recent designs for the park.
Residents of the Enright Park neighborhood have been engaged with the process and taken part in the design. To the best of our knowledge, the Village Collaborative has not previously participated in conversations about the Enright Park redevelopment.

Review of the Proposed Redevelopment of the May Stern - Kelly Strayhorn Block
Following the 6 PM meeting about Enright Park, at 7 PM there will be presentation and meeting with the developers of the May Stern - Kelly Strayhorn block, located in the 5900 block of Penn Avenue. Technically, this meeting is not a DAM session and does not, to our understanding, have the same requirements of a City-mandated DAM, as the application for this redevelopment was submitted BEFORE the RCO legislation went into effect in 2021.
However, it is equally critical that East Liberty community members attend and learn more about the proposal as there is then a Planning Commission hearing on the redevelopment on Tuesday, April 19, 2022 at 2 PM (link to Planning Commission agenda and the full application).
You can join this meeting by using the same link for the Enright Park meeting here.
Please stay tuned for more information and updates! We know that we have been exceedingly quiet lately - the pandemic has taken its toll on our abilities to keep up with everything that is going on - but we are working on ramping back up so that community members can be better informed about what is happening in and around East Liberty.
